All children and teens display some degree of moodiness, but moodiness along with other concerns may be indicative of mental health concerns, especially depression.  This webinar will discuss common elements of depression in youth and will help caregivers determine when they should be concerned and seek help for their children. This presentation will also outline effective treatment approaches, enlisting the help of a child’s school when needed, as well as strategies to support parents when caring for the needs of their children.
